I was born in the pretty seaside town of Whitby in North Yorkshire. It's famous for connections with Captain Cook, Bram Stoker's Dracula and the best fish & chips.I now live in Warwickshire with my husband and rescue dog, Bailey. Bailey can be seen on the front cover of my debut novel, 'The OMG test.' A percentage of sales are going to Dogs Trust.

My other books are 'The Seventh Day of May,' and my new release is 'Grace Me With Your Presents.'

I enjoy travelling, reading and of course writing. I also enjoy chocolate, wine and the sun, in no particular order. oh, ok, vino first!

I'm attempting to learn Spanish, simply because I love the language. I bet even arguments and swear words sound romantic in that language. My trouble is that I speak Sp

But seriously, the best thing is being able to do the thing you love most. And hopefully give readers some pleasure in the process.(less)

How Not To Be A Writer - A (bad) day in the life of a typical author

The first thing I do each morning is make a strong cup of tea. I think about what I'm going to write as I drink it. So far so good. I have a quick look through social media, and two hours later I'm ready to write. So, I write my Facebook and Twitter posts, and then I'm ready to write. For real this time. Until I read through what I wrote the day before. so there's only one thing for it at this poi Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Pippa Franks  (?)

“Don’t look back with tears, look forward with joy; and grab every bit of happiness you can. Don’t waste your life being afraid to try new things, and don’t be afraid of rejection, be afraid of rejecting what you know is right, in your heart.”
Pippa Franks, The OMG Test

“This cannot be happening! I’ve fantasised about talking to a ghost…but the conversations were never about the size of my arse!”
Pippa Franks, The Seventh Day of May

“TOILET SEAT TROUBLE ELIMINATOR’ ‘Your troubles are over, guys. How many times have you been in trouble for leaving the toilet seat up? Stay in the good books with this device. Simply attach it to the back of the toilet seat, and each time it’s lifted, it will gently close after three minutes. To earn an extra gold star, attach the special wiper, and it will run over the seat and clean up any spills and splashes you’ve made, before closing.”
Pippa Franks, The OMG Test

“To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.”
Woody Allen

“Be the kind of woman who, when your feet hit the floor each morning, the devil says "Oh, no! She's up.”
Joanne Clancy

“It's when you stop planning every last detail that you discover the fun in life.”
Joanne Clancy, The Wedding Day

“I read somewhere once that getting lost is the best way to find yourself.”
Joanne Clancy, The Wedding Day

“Olivia climbed down the steps gingerly. Her body tensed as the water lapped around her. Melissa swam past her with a look of disgust, so she counted to three and submerged her body. Her shoulders were now underwater, and a lady of generous proportions chose that moment to flop into the water next to Olivia. She gasped and spat the water out of her mouth. She may as well have just asked for a ‘cup of bleach please.’ It would’ve tasted the same, but she’d have been a lot warmer.”
Pippa Franks, The OMG Test
